In the era of post-modern warfare armed with high technology, infantrymen have many anti-tank weapons and equipment available.
Various barrels and recoilless rifles are basic weapons, and more high-end anti-tank missiles include fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles, which can not only penetrate the weak side and rear armor of a tank with a single hit, but also use large-caliber missiles
It is not impossible for an anti-tank missile to hit a main battle tank head-on.
But during the Second World War when anti-tank weapons were scarce, infantrymen did not have so many anti-tank tricks.
It's actually pretty good to have anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns available. If you don't have anything useful, you have to go up with explosive packs and anti-tank grenades. Going up there is basically a dead end.
One piece.
Of course, the more extreme one was the one led by the Japanese Empire, which had a glorious record of ramming a tank with a toilet peg in its hand, which was truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
One thing to say, this is even more exciting than holding an explosive bag and fighting upwards.
Germany, which claims to have the best technology in the world, will naturally not engage in such a low-tech thing. Facing the huge anti-tank pressure on the front line, the Germans worked hard and worked hard on research and development. The final usable result is in
The most famous "infantry artillery" on the battlefield of World War II: the Panzerfaust anti-tank grenade.
It is actually a bit inappropriate to say that the Panzerfaust is an anti-tank rocket launcher. As an infantry anti-tank weapon of the same era, the Bazooka is essentially different from this thing. The Bazooka's rockets follow a straight trajectory, and at least there are
It is equipped with an engine that can work for a short time, and the range is pretty good.
As for the Iron Fist, this thing purely relies on the propellant in the slender tube to burn chemical energy and push the large anti-tank grenade in front of the tube to fly out, following a standard parabolic trajectory.
As for the range... In addition to your technical sophistication, you also have to pray for the bonus of faith in the head of state. This thing is not something you can hit just by aiming accurately. The initial flight speed of 35 meters per second is simply unbearable.
Enter the eye.
Does Iron Fist have any advantages?
Of course, the biggest advantage of this thing is its power.
Not to mention the crispy skin of the small T-70, even if it is replaced by the is2 with rough skin and thick flesh, there are many areas of the front main armor belt that cannot withstand the blast of this thing.
The armor-piercing depth of 200 mm was simply too high for later generations, but during World War II before the popularity of composite armor and explosive reactive armor, this level of armor-piercing depth was simply the best for traditional homogeneous steel armor.
The iron fists carried by this small group of German troops on the position greatly exceeded the battle predictions of the Soviet reconnaissance troops. No one expected that the wooden box the size of a grenade box actually contained highly efficient infantry anti-armor weapons that could easily destroy tanks.
Captain Alexi, who mistakenly thought that as long as he knocked out the anti-tank gun, the Germans would be out of business, he overturned his boat in the gutter.
Those "sticks" with a range of only a few tens of meters had no effect at all at first. Captain Alexi led the infantry and tank team to charge forward at a furious pace, basically without any obstruction from the Germans.
But as soon as the tank drove onto the German position, an unimaginable nightmare ensued and enveloped everyone, hitting their heads with precision.
Captain Alexi didn't know what those elusive Germans were holding, but they were able to fire one of his tanks one at a time while being very portable, able to move freely, and could be operated by a single soldier.
Send them off one by one.
After killing a German who came to attack his car, Alexi, who stuck his head out of the turret despite the hail of bullets flying across the battlefield, finally saw clearly that the thing the German was holding was actually
A "stick"!
A stick as thick as an elbow can blast your own tank from a distance? What the hell are you kidding me!?
Captain Alexi, who was shrouded in extreme shock, still maintained clear consciousness and judgment. Knowing that the enemy had weapons beyond conventional recognition, if he ordered the tanks to continue advancing, it would be an act of seeking death.
To be on the safe side, Captain Alexi ordered the remaining tanks to stop their advance and stay on the spot as a direct fire point in front of the formation, using main guns and machine guns to continue to put pressure on the Germans who dared to show their faces.
"Take your men up! The tanks will cover you. The Germans have anti-tank weapons that we don't understand. Be careful!"
Some of the heavy tanks of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division were trial-installed with the infantry wired telephone developed by Karamov.
However, the light reconnaissance tank did not have this configuration, so Alexi could only risk his head sticking out of the turret and shouting orders loudly.
Amidst the fierce exchange of fire, the leader of the infantry platoon finally understood what Alexi meant by listening and watching. He immediately waved his hand and led the soldiers in his platoon to charge forward.
Unfortunately, this obviously newly constructed position not only had shallow trenches but also lacked communication trenches. Many tall and tall Red Army soldiers had to hunch over to find cover.
The thieving Germans used the few remaining machine guns to block the main communication trench leading to the rear of the position. It is obviously impossible to win through this with relatively small casualties. But if you jump out of the trench and straighten your body directly to launch a charge
However, the losses would be too great, and a platoon of light infantry simply could not afford such a heavy-casualty tactic.
The Il-2 attack aircraft in the sky are constantly diving, pulling up, turning, and diving again. The roaring and roaring sounds of wing cannons and large-caliber aviation machine guns are endless. The red tracer barrage is like a river of fire falling from the sky on the German-controlled positions.
In every corner, snowflakes and broken soil arose one after another, and from time to time, German soldiers staggered to the ground amidst a burst of howling like a slaughtered pig.
However, the stalemate situation in the battle did not change. The German troops, who already had more troops than the Soviets, fought to the death no matter what. No matter how heavy the casualties were, they still forced themselves to stay on the position despite the air raids and faced off against their opponents head-on.
Captain Alexi, who was commanding the battle, was astonished when he saw such a tenacious fighting will even when he led a team into battle.
"Whose army are these German guys from? They look like a bunch of lunatics!"
The stalemate situation in which the offensive forces were insufficient and the defenders could not use excess forces to attempt a counterattack did not last long.
When the roar of steel roared from the far end of the rear, before Captain Alexi had time to look back, he heard a rapid sound from the wireless transmitter hanging in his hand.
"Valery, Commander of the Medium Tank Battalion of the 1st Tank Regiment, we are here to support you! Let's crush the fascists together, comrades!"
